Cheap designer handbags

So it’s been quite some time since my last post and I suppose I don’t really have an excuse as “because I’m lazy” isn’t really an excuse is it? Still I didn’t want to let February pass us by without at least one post about a cheap designer handbag that you have to own right now.

I was looking the other day at some of my categories and the DKNY handbags section is looking a little light so I thought I would let you know about this lovely new Python print from Donna Karan which caught my eye. Now I have to admit that £240 is quite a lot to be paying for a “print” but I still really love the overall look of this tote and how the oblong shape almost makes it into a slouch bag which is quite neat. The two handles mean you could legitimately call this a shoulder bag but I think they are determined to market it as a tote for reasons unknown. I know there are quite a few examples of zebra print around these days but I do feel this DKNY is a great example of out to get it right, also at this price I have to say it’s one of the cheaper handbags I’ve reviewed in a while which is a nice trend to be seeing.

So as you can tell this is a short but sweet post from me. If curious the main reason for my absence is the extended holiday I’m having around Northern Ireland at the moment in places like Newry etc. BTW if anyone can recommend any good Newry hotels let me know as its quite hard to find any reliable information (blog is friend of mine sorry J). Anyway until next time, stay shoppin!

The first thing i have to say about this latest Hobo from Jimmy Choo is that the colour looks simply amazing. Ok so maybe a bit overstated but this is one of those designer handbags that stands out from 100 miles away and instantly draws the eye. It really ticks the two boxes the catapult any fashion item into the stratosphere and that is:

• Look amazing
• Look different

Wasn’t a very long list was it, and it almost sounds too simple but it is true. Like all great designer bags though it does have one or two flaws, for one it doesn’t seem that practical as its in-between (in size terms) clutch and tote which is always an awkward place to be. I can’t help thinking it would be a lot easier to carry around if it had a larger handle (possibly shoulder) and maybe a little bigger? The thing is if Jimmy Choo did make these changes (think he is reading?) then it would look no-where near as stunning. So again we come back to the question of style over practicality, ideally you find the perfect combination of the two but in reality most of us just want the style fix and decide to leave practicality till tomorrow.

So if you are looking to throw your sensible hat out the window then this Jimmy Choo Zebra hobo can be yours for around £800.
